41, MANCHESTER ROAD (See details for further address information)

No. 41 Manchester Road is a shop with a dwelling and an attached townhouse, now serving as a shop and offices. It was built around 1850-1860 and has been altered since then. The building is constructed from watershot coursed dressed sandstone and features a hipped slate roof. It has a narrow rectangular plan located on a corner site, with the former dwellings designed as single-depth.

The structure stands three storeys high over a cellar or basement, with two windows facing Manchester Road and five windows on Yorke Street. It displays rusticated quoins, sillbands on both upper floors, a plain frieze, and a moulded gutter cornice that runs around the building. The shop at No. 41 has a splayed corner doorway with an altered door and a large square shop window on each facade, both featuring altered glazing and a pilastered surround that includes a cornice and roller blind apparatus.

The main domestic doorway, located to the left of the Yorke Street window, is framed by a wide moulded architrave in a panelled pilastered surround, complete with ornamental consoles and a moulded cornice. It has two steps leading up to a recessed glazed and panelled door with a plain overlight. To the left of this doorway are three basement windows and three ground floor windows that are sashed without glazing bars. Between the second and third ground floor windows is a recessed doorway with a plain surround.

Both facades feature tall 12-pane unhorned sashed windows on the first floor and shorter windows on the second floor, mostly sashed without glazing bars, though the second and third windows on Yorke Street have nine panes. The building is topped with three large ridge chimneys, one of which is corniced while the others have been altered. The property forms a group with the Burnley Mechanics building on the opposite corner.
